Sympathy Needed

[Will]

I've broken my toe. Ouch. Ibuprofen isn't enough. :/

 

[Tom]

Can't fix a broken toe!

 

[yaruar]

Can't fix a broken toe!

I can.

Give me a saw, a chisel, a hammer, a couple of screws and a mechano set and some epoxy and i'll have it right as rain in no time.

 

[Will]

I'd forgotten how much Ibuprofen turns me into a mong. I'm spangled.

I didn't even break it in an exciting way. I dropped a glass on it when I was at Kirsty's house last night. I got home ok, but when I got up this afternoon, I couldn't walk. I can only hurple*.

[Clown]

Haha. You're fucked.

 

[TdC]

poor Will. take it to your GP in cast it's really fucked. otherwise, grit your teeth, cos iirc a toe can't be set. you may get some codine off your doc though

 

[Draylor]

Nah, theres nothing worthwhile a doc can do for it.

If you really want to spend your day having it x-rayed (why? you know its fucked) and having someone put a stupidly large comedy bandage on it (how useful, now no socks/shoes will fit) then by all means go there.

Time to practice hopping: youll be pretty good at it in a few days I expect

 

[Bodhi]

Just go to the doc and get loads of codeine off him. Alternatively, living in Edinburgh, you should be able to score some smack, which will do a similar trick.

 

[TdC]

remember to take your 600mg codine tablets with a large slug of wiskey. I did that once and saw pulsing purple stars for half the night

That wasn't a purple pulsing star my friend, it WAS purple and pulsing though.

Not very rock and roll of you Will, you should of said the glass was filled with your spunk and you were taking it to the mrs to drink.....or something.

 

[Lazarus]

strap your toe to the one next to it - thats all the hospital will do (if anything)

get on with it - you aint a wean

I'm going home to try this.

 

[tRoG]

You could always amputate.

 

[Sockstuff]

If i chopped both my big toes off would i walk like a gimp?

 

[tRoG]

Try it and find out.

Dunno but youd probably still post pointless attention seeking bollocks.

 

[Sharma]

Well I do admit, attention seeking random stuff is better than 2 active threads with the grammar police watching.

 

[Insane]

Was it Will or TDC who broke bones lately?

I blame cyclists always breaking bones and using our NHS budget to mend themselves.

Buy a car ffs

 

[TdC]

Will and I have both broken bones. Often more than once o0

That is what I've done, back at work today. I could probably have gone to work yesterday once the painkillers kicked in, but it was raining, and my foot hurt.

I've broken 6 ribs in the last 18 months. The NHS has done fuck all, since they can't. I just take a couple of ibuprofen and get on with it. I don't even take a day off work for broken ribs any more.

Recently at Orthopedically-Challenged Anonymous:

"My name is Will and I have brittle bone disease"

 

[Will]

Heh, I worked out its actually to do with how pointy my elbows are, and the fact I tend to tuck my arms when I crash the bike.

 

[tRoG]

Have you tried... err... not tucking your arms in?

 

[lilmissnaughty]

lol then he would just have a broken arm instead

 

[Will]

Have you tried... err... not tucking your arms in?

Its an instinctive thing. Its from doing martial arts, but normally when you fall in martial arts, you aren't travelling downhill at 25mph. it is very effective at avoiding head injury though, so I suppose I should count my blessings and all that.

And aye, if I don't tuck my arms in, I tend to break fingers.

 

[Draylor]

Well given the choice wouldnt a broken finger be preferred to a broken rib?

Broken fingers have no chance of puncturing lungs - surely a winner?

 

[Gray]

Yeah but then with broken fingers you cant wan.....

Anyway, nice weather outside isnt it?

Will breaks ribs like I crack pistache nuts

 

[tris-]

in jujitsu i got taught to slap my hands on the floor if i fell backwards.

but maybe thats just falling backwards. falling forwards is a whole other ball game which we recovered from by tumbling.

just thought id mention this

 

[Draylor]

Yup, silly me, ribs it is then.
